Last night I accidentally let the fuel level get too low. I was busy working and not paying attention to the fuel level. The engine started running very rough and shuttering. I eventually saw the fuel change and shut the tractor off. I refilled the tank and started it back up. It started fine, but ran a little rough for a while.
Eventually it smoothed out, but I noticed that the exhaust pipe was noticeably louder afterwards. When there is a load on the motor, like climbing a hill, the exhaust changes and gets really loud. Before this, I could never hear the exhaust and only heard the engine. I'm a little concerned now. I followed the manual and bled any air from the filter and also the bleed valve on the fuel pump but that did not make any difference. I'm at a loss here.
